Bump
I came home to no power in all of the power points today, I flicked the RCD switch and it turned off again... after exactly 6 minutes. Now, 6 minutes, that rings a bell....Oh! That's the compressor delay on my kegerators STC1000.
So I unplugged it, flicked the switch again, this time I plugged the freezer directly into the power point and it went off again after the compressor ran for about 1 second. This chest freezer is only 18 months old (came with 12 months warranty :angry: ).
So I pulled the cover off and inspected the compressor, no dust, no condensation, everything looks good, but I did find a family of about 10 little cockroachy looking bugs living underneath the compressor! The little bastards must have been hiding under there to keep warm. I sprayed them dead and gave everything a good wipe down, I suppose now i'll wait until tomorrow when everything dries and give it another shot.
Is it possible that one of them may have crawled inside somewhere (like the little black box to the left of the compressor) and created a short? Anything else I should try? Is it worth fixing? I really dont want to have to fork out for a new freezer and have to build a whole new collar.
